About the Firm

A Canadian communications firm built for institutions, not campaigns.

Founded in Toronto in 2009, Maple Leaf Media Group Inc. provides senior counsel and publishing services to listed issuers, Crown corporations, regulated industries and the broader public sector.

Our origins

The firm was established in the autumn of 2009, in the wake of the financial crisis, on the conviction that Canadian institutions deserved communications counsel that matched the seriousness of their disclosure obligations. We began with a small editorial team serving three listed issuers on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Today, we advise more than ninety active client organisations across Canada and the United States, with programmes spanning continuous-disclosure publishing, investor relations, public affairs and the production of long-form editorial — annual reports, sector journals, white papers and member publications.

We remain a privately held, Canadian-controlled corporation, incorporated federally under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Our head office is at 2300 Yonge Street, Suite 1600, Toronto, Ontario M4P 1E4, Canada.
